I used this software years ago and decided to go back to it. You cannot beat this price. They created a really nice working interface, locked tool bars not the irritating floating kind; preview of images bar at bottom with drag and drop capability...really nice and handy; uses language for photographers and not for computer geeks; easy override of "recommended settings; Love the editing views with Original and change views displayed side by side. I forgot how much I like this software. Adobe sits idle most of the time now.
